Admins should be able to prevent federation on the public & network timelines from a blocked list of specific servers. and from specific "bad actors". I don't see why individual users shouldn't be allowed to interact with anyone of their choosing but certain things just don't belong on the public timelines. <hr > I just realized this may be covered by the current blocked list.

We already support blocking bad actors: https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/src/nightly/DOCUMENTATION/SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATORS/CONFIGURE.md#public I think we don't have blocking for whole instances but it's trivial to add...
